Abstract

The luminescent materials have been used in order to create biomarkers, this process has many advantages because it is a safe method, of low cost, and the tests have high sensitivity and accuracy. This work aims to synthesize and characterize nanoparticles of rare earth, and also will study the spectroscopic and luminescent properties of the particles synthesized using elemental analysis techniques, infrared absorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction method.(AU).
